HOW: If you plan to return your instrument to the school, please give us a call in advance so we can notify our School Service Representative to pick it up on his/her next weekly visit to the school. Our representative will leave a receipt with the instrumental teacher and your account will be closed as long as rental payments are current. NEVER return your instrument by simply leaving it in your child’s classroom. DO NOT return your instrument to the school’s main office unless specific arrangements have been made. Note: If you are returning your instrument because your child is dropping out of the school instrumental program, please discuss this with your child’s instrumental teacher first.

You will be notified by mail that you own the instrument, and monthly invoicing will cease. 2. Early Payoff Option – at anytime during the life of the contract, you may purchase the instrument for a 30% discount off the unpaid balance. If you would like to purchase a new similar student model instrument (flute for flute, trumpet for trumpet etc.), you may apply one year of rental payments toward that purchase. MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT (M&R) COVERAGE 1. Any damage or breakage to the rented instrument will be repaired to proper playing condition, without charge, unless caused by abusive conduct. Coverage does not apply to deterioration of appearance, which does not affect the performance of the instrument, such as scratches, minor dents and finish. Regular maintenance of the instrument is covered and encouraged.A loaner instrument will be provided at no charge upon notice (depending upon availability), as long as your account is current. If the instrument cannot be put into proper playing condition it will be replaced with an instrument of similar value, quality, and condition for no charge. 2. In case of loss through theft, or total destruction by fire, or accident, the instrument will be replaced with an instrument of equal value, quality, and condition for no charge. Theft must be reported to proper law enforcement authorities within 24 hours after discovery of loss, and receipt presented to Zeswitz within 14 days. All charges incurred up to the date of loss are still due and payable. 3. Excluded from coverage are expendable accessories such as reeds, oil, cork grease, etc. 4.

Visual field changes in individuals with glaucoma and glaucoma suspects were evaluated, and the results were correlated with cumulative practice time. Methods: In this cross‑sectional, observational study, fifty‑one Philadelphia Orchestra musicians were enrolled and categorized as wind or non‑wind instrument players. All study participants underwent screening fundus photography. Participants with optic discs suspicious for glaucoma underwent further evaluation, including standard automated visual field perimetry and a comprehensive eye examination by a glaucoma specialist. Results: Of the 51 musicians enrolled, 9 of the 21 wind instrument players (43%) and 8 of the 30 non‑wind instrument players (27%) were suspected of developing glaucoma in at least one eye (P = 0.25), with examinations performed on 12 of the 17 returning musicians (71%) for further confirmation.

The following are considered to be color instruments which will allow nomination of 18 students: alto clarinet, bass clarinet, contra­clarinet, bassoon, and euphonium. Auxiliary Instruments Students auditioning for an auxiliary instrument must complete the entire audition process on the applicable primary instrument.

  • A Case Study on the Effectiveness of Acoustic Shields in Live Ensemble Rehearsals
    LIBERA, REBECCA CHRISTINE HAMMONTREE, D. M. A. Shielding a Musician: A Case Study on the Effectiveness of Acoustic Shields in Live Ensemble Rehearsals. (2009) Directed by Dr. Michael Burns and Dr. Sandra Mace. 101 pp. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acoustic shields at reducing sound levels experienced by a bassoonist during rehearsals of two professional orchestras. The primary research question was as follows: Do acoustic shields reduce sound levels experienced by a bassoonist to 85 dBA or below? A preliminary research question was: without an acoustic shield, do bassoonists in professional orchestras experience sound levels that exceed 85 dBA? The 85 dBA limit has been derived from the NIOSH recommended limits of sound-level exposure. Sound levels of a professional bassoonist were measured across sixteen rehearsals during the 2007-2008 concert season. The bassoonist wore Cirrus Research CR: 100B doseBadge sound dosimeters on each shoulder. One of two commercially available acoustic shields was placed behind the bassoonist; shields used were manufactured by Manhasset and Wenger. The results indicated that bassoonists in professional orchestras experienced average sound levels that exceed 85 dBA, and the use of acoustic shields did not reduce average sound levels to 85 dBA.

  • John Gilmore
    1 The TENORSAX of JOHN GILMORE Solographers: James Accardi and Jan Evensmo Last update: April 12, 2021 2 Born: Summit, Mississippi, Sept. 28, 1931 Died: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Aug. 20, 1995 Introduction: I don’t remember Oslo Jazz Circle having played a single record with Sun Ra in the fifties and sixties, and for my own sake, it was the Clifford Jordan / John Gilmore session for Blue Note that made me listen more closely. We should have had some better developed curiosity. History: Studied clarinet in Chicago from the age of 14, and performed in bands while in the air force (1948-51). In 1952 he played tenor saxophone briefly with Earl Hines in a travelling show organized around the basketball team the Harlem Globetrotters, then the following year joined Sun Ra. Apart from a period with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers (1964-65), he remained a member of the Sun Ra’s band, often serving as a drummer. Members of the avant garde have credited JC as the first to produce the sustained, screaming type of improvisation in the upper register of the tenor saxophone that became integral to the style of John Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders and others in the mid-1960s (ref. New Grove Dictionary of Jazz). 3 JOHN GILMORE TENORSAX SOLOGRAPHY JAM SESSION Chi. 1954 Art Farmer, Ira Sullivan (tp), John Gilmore, Eddie Harris (ts), unidentified (p), Wilbur Ware (b), Wilbur Campbell (dm). Recorded at Roosevelt College (James Accardi Collection), one title: 11:29 There Will Never Be Another You (NC) Solo 3 choruses of 32 bars (1st (ts)-solo).
